Vegan Greek salad, on a pizza? Yes, it’s a thing – and a delicious one at that. What’s even more tasty is that this recipe is cooked from scratch and 100% raw – meaning you get maximum nutrition from all those plant-based ingredients.
The raw vegan diet
Going vegan doesn’t necessarily mean you’re eating a healthy diet. In fact, with so many ready-made options now available it’s easy to eat much more processed vegan food than it was just a few years ago.
Don’t get us wrong – we love a vegan pizza or vegan burger as much as the next person, but if you want to eat clean and get the maximum nutrition from your food, you might want to consider a whole food plant-based diet, or even a raw vegan diet.
A raw vegan diet includes fresh, dried, raw and dehydrated fruit and vegetables along with spouted grains, nuts and seeds, fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut, seaweed, raw nut milks and cold-pressed oils and juices.
Vegan feta cheese
Every good pizza needs a healthy dose of cheese and this recipe is no exception. Rather than traditional Italian cheese toppings like Mozzarella, this vegan pizza features Greek-style feta. And the best thing is, you can make your own vegan cheese using just six healthy ingredients, including almonds, lemon and garlic.
To make the vegan feta for this recipe, you need to soak the almonds. Not only does this soften them up so that they’re easier to blend, but it also makes them easier to digest and helps release all the nutrients inside the nut.
Simply blend them up with the other ingredients and you’ll have a creamy, delicious vegan version of feta cheese made from raw, plant-based, whole food ingredients. What’s not to love?
